  • Device, method, and system for inverse crimping
    Patent number: 11283230
    Abstract: A device (10) for inverse crimping a terminal (12), held on an infeed belt (24), onto a core (14) includes: a crimp anvil (16) that supports the terminal (12) during the crimping process, a crimper (18) that reshapes to-be-reshaped regions (20) of the terminal (12) supported on the crimp anvil (16) during the crimping process when the crimp anvil (16) and the crimper (18) move relative to each other, and an infeed-belt guide device (46) for guiding the infeed belt (24). During the crimping process, the crimp anvil (16) is moved together with the terminal (12) supported in or on the crimp anvil (16), and the infeed-belt guide device (46) is moved at least temporarily relative to the crimper (18) before and/or during the crimping process.
